Re: Taco's 4KTQ 20vt Swap: The Red Baron - "THE CAM" is BACK

Post by AngryTaco »

So I'm going to order some tires this week as one of them failed early last week....oye

I think I'm going to stay with a 205 but I'm going to go with a yokohoma 205/50/15.

Supposed to have some really good grip.

See what you can find in a 215 width. Thats what im running at the moment. Try either Kumho XS or Falken 615K. Which Yoko's were you looking at?

Might you be hitting the dyno yet this year? I'm anxious to see solid numbers.

Just bought the new tires. Decided to go with a 205/55/15 Nitto 450. Its the same style tire as what I ran on my dodge before the viper wheels and it handled insanely. Got them for a whopping $346 with free shipping brand new with no tax. God I love the internet.

I put Front CQ springs in the rear. It really helped level it out.

Nice progress though, I kind of like that's it sitting on stilts, makes it look more tough and usable in a rally car kind of way
